LIFE has been stunningly uneven -- Friday's episode was one of the worst episodes of ANY TV show EVER but then Monday's was great. I am loving the return of Pushing Daisies.

I also use the EW fall TV issue to program my DVR. This year, like you, I didn't find any new shows that are must-see for me. All the shows I watch now are on at least their third season. Out of that list, the only one that I am anxiously waiting for week to week is Mad Men. I know what you mean about free time. For the past several years, I couldn't pull myself away from the TV long enough to read books. This week, I've already gone through two! I can see that our TV situations are similar.

I agree, though, that the majority of new shows that have been offered up this season seem unremarkable, and won't get much/any attention from me. My "must-watch" tv is pretty much identical to last year's roster: Sunday - Amazing Race, Dexter, Brothers & Sisters Monday - How I Met Your Mother Tuesday - Greek, House (although I've only seen the premiere for this season, and haven't felt motivated to catch up on the rest yet) Wednesday - Project Runway (& Top Chef when it starts up) Thursday - The Office I will probably watch 30 Rock when it goes back on air, and my boyfriend and I have been watching Mad Men S1, so we will probably get around to watching the current season episodes at some point in the future.
